Re: 2006 Casita Spirit Deluxe Loaded

Daniel Hansen <danyhansen31@gmail.com>

Hello there,

Thank you for your interest in buying my camper. Let me give you a few details about it: very good shape, no scratches or dents, and it has never been involved in any kind of accidents. Has everything a big rig has : kitchen, fridge, toilet, shower, generator, thermostat controlled heat and A/C, and much more. Not interested in a trade and my final price is $3,900. I have a clear title, free of any liens or loans on it, under my name.

I’m serving in Offutt AFB, Nebraska but I was promoted and transferred to Elmendorf AFB in Anchorage Alaska for a 3 years period, so I don’t need it anymore at this time. The camper is already crated and sealed in eBay’s storage facility number 11 in Omaha, Nebraska and the shipping process will be handled by them. The shipping costs are already paid off so you won’t have to pay any extra charges for it. The entire shipping process will take around 4 days. The financial part will also be managed by eBay, which means that you will have a 5 days inspection period before committing to buy it. In this way both, buyer and seller are 100% covered during the steps of this transaction. If you agree with my bottom price and you are interested to conclude this purchase, please email me back and I’ll gladly provide you more info on how it works. Also, I’ve attached you some more pictures with the camper in this email.

Thanks,
CMSgt Daniel L. Hansen

 

OMG, word for word the same thing about the Air Force bases and eBay’s storage facility.  The ad was on Craig’s List from Smyrna GA, posted 6/14.  He? used fon number 203-443-1709.  I left him a voice mail and text on 6/18.  I received a text back tonite from 402-500-2217 asking for my email address so he could send me more details.

My radar was activated by the low price and I wondered why he was advertising in GA if he was in Omaha.  Also, I had never heard of eBay doing anything like this.

How do we get this dirtbag behind bars?

On 21 June 2014 I responded to an ad. The ad is on olx. I mailed Liam who also responded that the car was held in a container in Speingbok. He inherited it from his brother who died in a bike accident in South Africa. Since he is in Bulgaria, he cannot import the car due to high import tax.
Olx would facilitate the transactiion etc.
Please buyers, be wake up! I am going to try and track this thief! There are ways and means..
In the meantime, accept that if it sounds to good to be true, it certainly is!

Original emails:
Hi, I’m interested in the corolla you posted on craigslist a little while ago. would it be possible to schedule an appointment to look at it sometime in the next week or so? Is there anything I should know about it that you haven’t posted in your ad?

her reply:
Thank you for contacting me about my 2003 Toyota Corolla. The car is in great shape with 74k mileage, it’s automatic with 4-Cylinder. I’m the first owner, it was never been involved in accidents and has clear title.
I am selling it for $1,650 because my husband died 1 month ago (he had a heart attack) and brings me bad memories. Along with my daughter we decided to sell the house and moved to my brother in Washington, trying to start a new life.

I want to use eBay services, so if you’re interested in purchasing the car just reply me your full name, full address and phone number, so I can notify eBay. Once that is done, they will contact you in the next 24 hours to explain the entire procedure.

my reply:
Thanks very much for your quick reply, I really appreciate it. I’m very sorry about your husband, and I totally understand why you want to get rid of it quickly. I’d love to be first in line for this car if possible; I’m looking for a car that I can use for a cross country trip the beginning of august to return to school. I’d like to take a look at the car in person as soon as possible.

her reply:
Hi again the car is stored with all the paperwork in eBay warehouse number 29,in Lynnwood, WA headquarters in container,sealed and ready for delivery. The transaction will be made thru eBay because they can protect both of us and they also offer 10 days inspection period. You’ll have 10 days to test/drive the car before decided to keep it or not. If the vehicle is not like I described you’ll ship it back on my expense and they will give you a full refund. eBay will hold the funds until you receive the car with all the papers work. Only after you confirm them that you wanna keep it they will release me the funds. In this way you will be able to inspect the vehicle before committing to buy it.
i will contact eBay and i will proceed the deal.You will receive a notification from them with all the steps you need to follow to complete the deal. E-mail me when you will receive the notification from eBay

I then asked for an ebay number to look up the car and she replied with about 20 photos,but no ebay number.

As I told you in my first email, I recently lost my son and my husband. Currently I am located in Columbia, MO at my parents because they are the only persons that I have in my life at this moment. Unfortunately I can’t conclude this transaction personally because my work involves a lot of traveling but I left everything prepared for the sale. I can’t afford to take days off my work for this sale so I’m trying to sell it online. I will make the deal only trough eBay, because I am a member of eBay buyer protection program and using this service you will get a 5 days testing period after delivery. During that 5 days testing period I will not be getting any money. Also the price is $1,950 with shipping included! If the car is not like described, it will be shipped back on my expense and they will give you a full refund. This way you will be able to inspect the car before committing to buy it and I know that you have the money and you are not just fooling around.If interested please include in your next email your contact info for shipping (full name, address, and phone#) so I can open a transaction with eBay.Sorry for the long emails I have tried to touch all bases.
Sincerely,
Emily

I saw an rv on craiglist and contacted the phone number on the item and gave me an email address. julia801m@gmail.com, this person told she is going through a divorce and had to sell the rv cheap. She asked me for my info to send to ebay and that ebay would contact me. Well ebay did supposedly contacted me but i called ebay and provided all the info from the email and they did not find anything. I dont know how to post the email here.

Here the address on Craigslist.

This is what he emailed me.
The price is $11,500 with shipping and company fees included.
I want to use as a third party Amazon Payments Company ( visit their website: Amazon Payments ). You will have to make the payment through bank wire transfer to an Amazon Payments bank account. They will start the shipping process in 24 hours after your payment is confirmed. The machine will be delivered in 4 days. From the moment it arrives at your door, you will have 5 days to test and inspect it. If it doesn’t match my description or if you find anything wrong with it, Amazon Payments Company will refund your money in 3 working days and I will be in charge of the return shipping fee. They will hold the money until you confirm that the machine is as expected.
This way we are both protected. I am sure that you have the funds to buy it and you can verify that the machine is as advertised knowing that Amazon Payments Company has the payment secured.
In order to start the transaction, please go on Amazon Payments Company web site, register a new transaction, once you do that, Amazon Payments will send you the invoice with all the payment and shipping details.

Thanks,
Mark

Ebay Scam..this time on a HD Fatboy bike: Dead give away, I live in MO she references the Far West Coast

Hi!

This is my 2000 Harley Davidson Fatboy . The bike has been extremely well maintained with a full service history, and has not been involved in any accidents. Only 8,585 miles, the bike has an 1550cc engine,title is clear. I bought it when I was serving at Hill Air Force Base, Utah but I was promoted and transferred to Elmendorf AFB in Anchorage Alaska for a 2 year period, so I do not want to let it rot in my backyard and therefore need a fast and reliable buyer. The bike is already at our Department of Logistics at Hill Air Force Base, Utah crated and ready to go. The shipping will be free for you because I will transport it using the internal transport system we have here at the Department of Logistics! The DoL will deliver the bike to the nearest Air Force Base from your area and from there I will use a tow-truck to have it delivered to your door. The whole shipping process will take 3-4 days. The financial part will be managed by eBay, which means you will have a 7 day inspection period before committing to buy the bike. In this way, both buyer and seller are 100% covered during the steps of this transaction. I would really like to get at least $3000 so if you are interested in making this purchase in a timely manner email me your : Full name and shipping address, so I can inform eBay that I have a buyer! I will forward your details to them and then you will receive the invoice. Then you will be able to talk with them directly and ask all you want to know .

For more pics please get back to me as soon as possible!

Thank you,

From an Emma cox:

thanks for asking, the ’00 Nissan Maxima SE has 91k miles and great condition, an mechanic look over it before i post the ad. Also has a clear title, V6-3,0L and VIN JN1CA31D0YT521519. I’m selling it because my child of only 24 died 4 months ago in a car accident, a drunk driver hit him and his fiancee. He was with his fiance’s car coming to our home at his little brother birthday of 16 years old. The car belonged to my son and it brings me bad memories, that’s the reason i sell it so low ($1,750).
Me and my husband travel a lot with our job so we want to make this deal thru’ eBay Protection Program because they protect both of us and they also offer 10 days inspection period. We will take care of the shipping so don’t worry. All documents, title and bill of sale on your name will come along with the car (had another deal with eBay and everything went smoothly)…by the way, the car is full paid, NO payments or liens!

Using GreenDot cards to pay for vehicle from Craigslist

My daughter found a car on Craigslist at a ridiculously good price. She contacted the seller by email and by what she said was a Google phone, where she left a message. She was contacted by text and sent additional pictures of the vehicle by email. She indicated she was very interested and seller said he would use eBay Motors to send an invoice and complete the transaction offering buyer protection services. Even said the price included freight. He indicated he was being transferred by the military and needed to sell. When she got the invoice, it looked good and offered eBay services. However, it was looking for payment via PayPal GreenDot cards. I called the included number, for her, and they answered as if eBay. When I questioned the payment method, they assured me it was a new secure way to pay and I was almost convinced it was legit. However, a quick check of how a GreenDot card should operate made me look into it a bit more. I discovered this is a new way for scammers to get untraceable payments. When I called the number again and questioned the method, they hung up on me. That phone number was 877-657-4638 and further calls from my phone indicated the number could not be called as dialed (I used redial so I knew it was not a problem with the dialing.) Using my cell phone, I also received a message that the call could not be completed, but I did get a call back from ‘eBay’ from 408-627-7735 and they left a message asking me to call back.
